You thought the original Charizard Mega-Evolution was badass in a recent Pokémon X and Y announcement? Well guess what? THAT’S NOT EVEN MY FINAL FORM!
I’ve got to hand it to GameFreak, because they know how to ring every single possible dollar from their franchise. Charizard is getting not one, but two mega-evolutions, depending on which Pokémon game you buy this month.
Pokémon X gets you Mega Charizard X, Pokémon Y gets you Mega Charizard Y and Nintendo gets to swim in a ocean of cash. So what’s the big difference in Charizards? Well, a dose of Charizardite X grants your pokemon the ability to power up into a black-skinned nightmare lizard that puffs blue flames and become a Fire-Dragon type. It also gains an attack boost, and the Tough Claws ability which is essentially a Poké-klap buff.
Mega Charizard Y on the other hand, gets a special attack boost when exposed to Charizardite Y and it gains the ability of Drought, which powers up fire type moves even more. By now, I’m expecting anyone who has read this and doesn’t happen to be a Pokémon fan to be rolling their eyes out of their heads right now.
As for the rest of you, you’re seriously considering buying both versions of the game, aren’t you?

Hmm … I’ll buy version Y by the looks of it… that Charizard looks better IMO
Unless … unless Pokemon X has a Dragonite and/or Snorlax Mega Evolution that either Poke Y doesn’t have, or is way cooler than 😀

Hows about I sing you a song?
I want to be the very best,
Like no one ever was.
To catch them is my real test,
To train them is my cause.
I will travel across the land,
Searching far and wide.
Teach Pokemon to understand
The power that’s inside
Pokemon, (gotta catch them all) its you and me
I know its my destiny
Pokemon, oh, you’re my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon, (gotta catch them all) a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I’ll teach you
Po-ke-mon, gotta catch ’em all
Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
Come with me, the time is right
There’s no better team
Arm in arm we’ll win the fight
It’s always been our dream
Pokemon!
(Gotta catch ’em all)
It’s you and me
I know it’s my destiny
Pokemon!
Oh, your my best friend,
In a world we must defend.
Pokemon!
A heart so true.
Our courage will pull us through.
You teach me and I’ll teach you.
Pokemon!
(Gotta catch ’em all)x5
Yeah!
Pokemon!
It’s you and me
I know it’s my destiny
Pokemon!
Oh, your my best friend,
In a world we must defend.
Pokemon!
A heart so true.
Our courage will pull us through.
You teach me and I’ll teach you

Yeah, I think this christmas both my son and I will get a 3DS (he has a DS already) and a separate copy of the game. He’ll get one, I’ll get the other, conveniently, and I’ll end up playing both while he plays Xbox.

Seriously what is your problem? If you don’t like the game, that’s your opinion. No need for you to spew rubbish and troll on an article where other people are calmly expressing views and opinions on the new Pokemon game. Some people like it, some people don’t. How can you hate people you don’t even know? Stop acting like an immature child and go find something more useful to fill your time with.
